Zhenzhen is a beautiful and lively Kaohsiung girl, 29 years old this year, working as a researcher in a pharmaceutical company. She works hard, has a cheerful personality, and is loved by her colleagues and friends.
One day, Zhenzhen's mother, Xiaofang, found her and said expectantly, "Zhenzhen, you are 29 years old, it's time to think about getting married." It's getting harder and harder to find a partner in Taiwan, so why don't you go to the mainland and have a look? The boys there are very hardworking and very good to their wives. "
Zhenzhen was shocked by her mother's words, and said hesitantly: "Mom, I have a good job, and I don't want to get married for the time being." Besides, I've been in Kaohsiung for so many years, and I'm reluctant to leave here. "
"But you have to know, girls, at this age, if you don't get married, you will be looked down upon. Xiaofang persuaded, "The conditions for boys in the mainland are really good, you go and take a look, maybe there is a suitable one." "
Just as Zhenzhen hesitated, a fresh breeze outside the window blew into the house, bringing a pleasant atmosphere. Zhenzhen took a deep breath and said to her mother, "Okay Mom, but you have to give me some time to think it through." "
Xiao Fang was very happy to see this, and nodded again and again in agreement.
A few months later, Xiaofang was introduced to Li Lei, a software engineer working in Shenzhen, through a relative. When they met, Li Lei was polite and generous.
"Hello Zhenzhen, I heard that you work in Kaohsiung?" Li Lei said with a smile.
"Yes, I work for a pharmaceutical company. Zhenzhen replied.
"That's pretty good. I work as a software developer in Shenzhen, and the work is very intense, but the income is also considerable. Li Lei said proudly.
When they met for the first time, Zhenzhen had a good impression of Li Lei. He is humble and courteous, has a stable job, and has a bright future. However, Zhenzhen always felt that there seemed to be some estrangement between the two, an indescribable strangeness.
Before you know it, they've been talking for a long time. Li Lei gave a detailed introduction to his work and life, and Zhenzhen also talked about his experience in Kaohsiung. However, Zhenzhen still felt as if there was an invisible wall between the two.
At this moment, Li Lei stopped the topic and turned to look at Zhenzhen with an expectant look on his face. Zhenzhen was heartbroken and decided to listen carefully to what he had to say.
"Zhenzhen, although we have known each other for a short time, I appreciate your style of dealing with the world. Li Lei said sincerely, "You must have put in a lot of hard work and sweat in Kaohsiung for so many years." I think the two of us are very close together, what do you think?"
Zhenzhen was a little caught off guard by Li Lei's straightforward words, and her mood suddenly became entangled. On the one hand, as a mainlander, Li Lei has a very good personality, a stable job, and a promising future; On the other hand, they had just met, and Li Lei asked such a straightforward question, and Zhenzhen was really overwhelmed.
However, after thinking about it carefully, what Li Lei said also has some truth. Both of them are hard-working and self-motivated people, and their personalities should be relatively compatible. Besides, Zhenzhen has also reached this age, and she should really think about marriage.
Zhenzhen began to think in her heart, if she really married Li Lei, what kind of life would it be? The two of them may have to make some compromises and concessions, such as the run-in of living habits, the choice of work location, and so on. However, as long as we are considerate of each other, we should be able to spend time together.
While Zhenzhen was pondering, Li Lei had been looking at her expectantly, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes. Zhenzhen couldn't help but be attracted by his focused eyes, and began to look at him carefully: the high nose bridge and angular chin revealed the charm of a mature man.
Zhenzhen's gaze began to wander a little, and inadvertently swept out the window. Outside the window was a lush tree, and a few small birds were jumping up and down the branches, chirping. A fresh breeze blows, bringing a faint floral scent. Zhenzhen took a deep breath, and suddenly felt that the entanglement in her heart seemed to have disappeared with the wind.
In this way, under the consultation of both parties, Zhenzhen and Li Lei confirmed their relationship. Li Lei promised that he was willing to make changes for Zhenzhen, and the two of them could live in Kaohsiung for a period of time first, and then make plans after they became familiar with each other's lifestyles.
At first, Zhenzhen's mother Xiaofang was still opposed. She is worried that the two people come from different cultural backgrounds, and there will be a lot of disagreements and contradictions when they are together in the future.
"Mom, don't worry. Zhenzhen comforted, "Li Lei is very good, and he is willing to make changes for me." We'll be considerate of each other. "
"But you're naïve!" Xiaofang sighed, "The cultural differences between the mainland and Taiwan are too great, can you really adapt to the mainland?"
"Mom, you don't have to worry too much about this. Zhenzhen smiled and said, "If there is any problem, we will solve it step by step." The important thing is that we truly love each other. "
Looking at her daughter's firm eyes, Xiaofang nodded helplessly. She only hopes that her daughter can be happy and not suffer too much.
In this way, with the blessing of family and friends, Zhenzhen and Li Lei officially embarked on their road of love. At first, they also encountered some cultural stumbles, but as long as they were considerate and tolerant of each other, these problems were not a big problem.
Gradually, Li Lei began to adapt to life in Kaohsiung and learned some Hokkien language. Zhenzhen, on the other hand, learned about some of the customs of the mainland. Their relationship is getting stronger and stronger, and they are getting to know each other better.
Half a year later, Zhenzhen and Li Lei decided to hold a wedding in Kaohsiung first, and then go to the mainland to develop together. Although there is still a long way to go, as long as there is love, they have the courage to face all challenges.
Life after marriage is not as good as Zhenzhen imagined. Although they love each other, the differences from different cultural backgrounds still bring a lot of trouble to their lives.
The most obvious is the difference in living habits. Zhenzhen is accustomed to the casual style of Kaohsiung people, while Li Lei is influenced by urban life in the mainland and pays more attention to rules. Once, Zhenzhen temporarily invited a few good friends to her home for a small gathering, but she didn't tell Li Lei in advance. When Li Lei came home from work, he saw that the living room was full of people, and his face suddenly changed.
"Why don't you tell me first? I can clean the room in advance. Li Lei said a little angrily.
"How can there be so much exquisiteness, they are all their own people. Zhenzhen replied nonchalantly.
This made Li Lei even more annoyed, "You are so casual, how will you educate your children in the future?"
The two quarreled like this, which made the originally lively atmosphere a little. Zhenzhen's friends comforted them again and again, hoping that they would reconcile quickly.
In addition to the difference in living habits, Zhenzhen and Li Lei also have differences in other aspects. For example, Zhenzhen hopes to have a girl in the future, while Li Lei hopes to have a son to carry on the lineage. For another example, Li Lei hopes that Zhenzhen can stay at home as a full-time wife in the future, while Zhenzhen hopes to continue working.
However, whenever this thought comes to mind, Zhenzhen will immediately suppress it. She clearly knows that Li Lei is sincere to her, and she loves him from the bottom of her heart. With a little patience and wisdom, these differences can always be resolved.
Gradually, Zhenzhen learned to treat Li Lei in a more considerate way. She knew that Li Lei's temper was created by the living environment in the mainland, and she was not really cautious. On the contrary, Li Lei also realized that he was sometimes too rigid and should learn to relax.
In this way, by understanding and tolerating each other, they finally found a way to get the best of both worlds. For example, Zhenzhen will tell Li Lei in advance if a friend comes to the house, and Li Lei will not care too much about these little things.
They also agreed on the issue of having children: whether they were born a boy or a girl in the future, they would love them equally. As for whether Zhenzhen will continue to work, she decided to do this for the time being, and then plan to have children in the future.
Just when the relationship between the two was steadily improving, a sudden news put them in a new predicament. Li Lei's company decided to transfer him to the Shanghai branch, while Zhenzhen's work unit was in Kaohsiung. This means that they will have to live separately.
"What are we going to do? Are we going to split our jobs, or are we going to give up our careers?" Li Lei fell into deep trouble.
Zhenzhen looked at her husband's worried appearance, and her heart was mixed. She knew it was a difficult decision for a newlywed. However, as long as they face it with love, they will be able to overcome many obstacles.
Faced with the dilemma that Li Lei was about to be transferred to Shanghai, Zhenzhen and Li Lei had in-depth thinking and discussion.
"We're married now, and we're going to have children in the future. If they are separated, the child will be homeless. Zhenzhen sighed deeply, "Should we choose a person to temporarily give up their careers and put their families first?"
Li Lei was silent for a while, and said solemnly: "As a man, I feel that I should take more responsibility for my family. Why don't you go to Shanghai to work for a few years, and then we will discuss our future plans when the work at hand is done. "
"Don't worry. Li Lei smiled and said, "I will take care of myself." What's more, we can video as often as if we were together. "
Zhenzhen was touched by her husband's thoughtfulness and determination, and nodded in agreement. In this way, Li Lei went to Shanghai alone, while Zhenzhen stayed in Kaohsiung temporarily.
In the beginning, life went well. Li Lei rented a small apartment in Shanghai, and he would take care of his life after work. Zhenzhen continues to work in Kaohsiung, and every weekend she will video with Li Lei to report her safety.
However, as time went on, the separation of the two places also caused them some trouble. Sometimes Li Lei works overtime too late in Shanghai, and Zhenzhen can only see his tired face in the video; Sometimes Zhenzhen works overtime on weekends, and the two can't meet in time.
The most worrying thing is that once Zhenzhen had a small accident in the laboratory and was accidentally splashed on her arm by chemicals. When she told Li Lei the news, Li Lei was immediately annoyed and blamed himself.
"It's all because I'm not with you, and if I were, it wouldn't have happened. Li Lei said guiltily.
"Don't say that, it's just a small accident, it doesn't matter. Zhenzhen comforted again and again, "You concentrate on doing your job well now, and when we are together in the future, we won't have to be separated." "
Although Zhenzhen repeatedly explained, Li Lei's guilt could not be soothed. As a husband, he felt deeply powerless.
However, whenever this thought came to mind, Zhenzhen would immediately suppress it. She clearly knows that Li Lei is sincere to her, and she loves him from the bottom of her heart. With a little patience and wisdom, it can all be overcome.
Just when Zhenzhen was entangled in her heart, a sudden news completely changed the trajectory of her life. One day, when Zhenzhen was doing an experiment, she suddenly felt a whirlwind and fainted on the spot.
After Li Lei learned the news, he bought a ticket and flew back to Kaohsiung without saying a word. "Zhenzhen, I've been working in Shanghai for more than two years, and now it's time to come back and take care of you and the children. He said firmly.
Zhenzhen looked at her husband's resolute eyes, not to mention how moved she was. She knew that after having children, they could not live apart. And Li Lei took the initiative to give up his job in Shanghai in order to give his family the greatest care and care.
In this way, under the news of Zhenzhen's pregnancy, Li Lei decided to quit his job in Shanghai, find a new job in Kaohsiung, and reunite with his wife. Although there is still a long way to go, as long as there is love, they will have the courage to face all challenges.
